Overview
The Communication and Ideation Design (CID) program is a modern educational approach to the Graphic Design, Art Direction, Advertising and creative industries. It provides a holistic interpretation of design education where each class builds upon the previous one, to expand the creative process. Particular attention is focused on ideation, which is the process of initiating, developing, and refining ideas. Ideation is an integral component to the design process.
Classes are structured around the connectivity of the curriculum as well as a wider approach to today's modern designer. The curriculum incorporates communication for design and human interaction, with regards to digital (web pages) and physical realms (graphic and information design print, publication, wayfinding, exhibition and experiential design). All aspects of typographic issues are thoroughly explored, including visual applications of multilingual concerns. As a result of the learning outcomes, graduates will be at the intermediate or advanced level in the profession.
The CID program offers both full-time and part-time options. Students can complete the full-time program (20 classes) in 4 terms over 2 years, or part-time depending on the flexibility of their schedule. All classes are held on evenings and weekends.
